May was one of the best months for me in terms of Income. I earned the highest amount till now and hopefully, this amount will remain constant or increase in the upcoming months. In May month, I earned $74.88 from the blog

Regarding passive income, It was also a great month. I earned it through multiple sources.

Blog Updates

1- I have acquired another chess-related website which is currently producing roughly 500 visitors per month. Also, this website has already 125+ published articles.

2- I got a hit by core update 2022 to my main website. My views are 70% decreased now. Now, I am just waiting to finish the core update and then will start posting content again. Because of this, I am not sure about June month earnings.

April Update

In April, I signed up for the amazon one link program. I thought they will include all earnings in amazon US payment. I didn’t know that they have a separate dashboard for each country. I have earned around $10 which I haven’t included in my last article.

Let’s see my passive income in May month.

Amazon Affiliate

With 189 clicks in May month, I earned only $1.82 in May. Not happy with click to conversion rate.

Chess.com Membership

This month I got $17.11 in commission. Although the total clicks were 462. Click to conversion rate is overall very low in chess. The main reason is that people play chess for fun and it is not a necessity. If you want to purchase a membership, you can purchase it from the above link!

Modern Chess

Modern Chess provides a high-quality opening repertoire in PGN files (Digital Downloads). I got a $23.74 commission from them.

Modern chess is one of the best affiliate programs I have found. Their courses are also high quality and the commission rate is also good.

If some of you are looking to purchase any products then use code NIKHIL45 to get a flat 45% off on sitewide purchases.

Credit Card Benefits

This month I redeemed my points and got an Amazon voucher worth $6.44. Also, I got Cleartrip (Travel company in India) voucher worth $25.77.

In total, I earned $74.88. Although, from blogging, I earned only $42 this month.

June Plans

I am going to play tournaments in the months of June and July. That’s why I am not sure how much time I will spend on these things.

Still, I will try to publish a few articles on the blog. As my views are also decreased by 70%, I am not sure about my earnings.

See you next month!
